Online Courses

Online courses at the University of Northern Colorado are offered by both the Office of Extended Studies and by the five colleges within the university.

Tuition for courses offered by the OES is not subsidized by Colorado’s College Opportunity Fund, however, it is for those offered by the colleges. Therefore, Colorado residents pay more for OES online courses than for ones offered by the colleges.
